CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION REPORT
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2019
AGENDA #: 1A
PREPARED BY: SARAH SCHWARZHOFF, CITY ATTORNEY
PRESENTED BY: SARAH SCHWARZHOFF
AGENDA ITEM: SPRING LAKE TOWNSHIP PAYMENT
ACTION
REQUESTED:
Review payment to Spring Lake Township related to annexation for
Meadows at Cleary Lake.
INTRODUCTION: In 2014, the Enclave at Cleary Lake Development was required to repair
a ditch that was located in Spring Lake Township (near the intersection
of 180th and Revere Way). The developer completed the work and the
City paid the developer for the work. The Township reimbursed the City
for the cost of the ditch repair in the amount of $100,000. In conjunction
with the payment, the City and Township entered into an agreement
(attached) where the City agreed to refund the money to the Township if
the City annexed the property within 5 years. The repayment was tied to
3 parcels, with 1/3 repayment for each parcel annexed.
In 2018, as part of the Meadows at Cleary Lake Development, two of the
three parcels identified in the agreement were annexed. As a result the
Township has requested payment from the City of $66,666.67 for the two
parcels. Staff is providing this information for Council review and to
answer any questions before the payment is made. The payment will be
made from the Projects – Storm Sewer Oversizing account number 502-
43600.00-55170.00-DEV13-000014.
City staff was unaware of this agreement at the time of the annexation.
Therefore, staff has also discussed instituting systems to ensure that any
future agreements be tracked to ensure that in the future the developer
and/or landowner be required to make any annexation or development
related payments.
